"For me, the essence of this book is the lyrics and I believe they
stand the test of time because they are written about man's eternal
quest, dilemmas, joys and sorrows. George's lyrics were, in my opinion,
the most spiritually conscious of our time" - Olivia Harrison
Cherished by fans and collectors, I Me Mine is the closest we will
come to George Harrison's autobiography. This new volume has been
significantly updated since the 1980 original. For the first time I Me
Mine - The Extended Edition covers the full span of George Harrison's
life and work, exploring his upbringing in Liverpool, the growth of
Beatlemania, his love of India, gardening and racing cars.
I Me Mine also presents 141 of George Harrison's songs. With lyrics
handwritten and reproduced in facsimile, accompanied by his uniquely
intimate and humorous commentary, this new edition of I Me Mine now
includes more than 50 additional lyrics written for the Beatles and
Harrison's solo albums -- from All Things Must Pass to Brainwashed.
With written contributions from Olivia Harrison and Derek Taylor,
original cover art by Shepard Fairey, and a wealth of previously
unpublished material, I Me Mine -The Extended Edition is a treasured
portrait of George Harrison and his music.
"Writing a song is like going to confession... writing songs to try
and find out who you are." -George Harrison
"A book which tells the story of growing up, not necessarily the hard
way but certainly not the easy way, for no matter how greatly privilege
and wealth may have seemed to grace the Beatles' evolution, 'easy' is
not the word for what happened to them on their way to what has come to
be known as The Top." - Derek Taylor
